A United Kingdom lady, Joyce Jackman, who celebrated her 102 birthday on May 9, said the secret of her long life was having good sex and good sherry.

The former RAF chef told staff at her care home that she credits ‘good sex and good sherry’ as the key to her satisfying life.
Joyce said: ‘I had such a lovely day.
‘I can’t believe I’m 102 — it must be all the chocolate I eat that’s helped!’
In her early life, Joyce worked in a sweet shop, before joining the RAF as a chef during World War Two.
Joyce, now widowed, married her childhood sweetheart, Terence Jackman, in 1945 — the year the war ended.
While they never had children, Joyce loved to help out looking after the children in her neighbourhood, as well as enjoying baking with her mother and going out with her friends.
Now, Joyce enjoys keeping her mind busy at Silversprings home care with regular crossword puzzles and staying up-to-date with the daily newspaper — as well as enjoying plenty of chocolate.
